How do i change resources based on the culture?

Mikkel Rune Rasmussen 1

Hi.

I am currently developing an application that needs to be two different languages. As such, i have created a Resources.resx as well as a Resources.da-DK.resx.

For changing the culture, I have made a picker, that lets the user change the language they want to use, as well as the culture. However, when the culture is changed to da-DK, I still get output from my regular Resources.resx. How do I change what text gets printed in the UI?

Thanks

Hi, MikkelRuneRasmussen-8782. For this function, you could set dynamic binding for the content with the RESX resources.

<StackLayout> <Label Text="{Binding Resources[Content]}" /> <Picker ItemsSource="{Binding Languages}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedLanguage, Mode=TwoWay}" /> </StackLayout>
